Publisher's Synopsis
A BOLD NEW TAKE ON CLASSIC EPIC FANTASY FROM DEBUT AUTHOR BRUCE MCKNIGHT!
Danger closes in from every direction. A mysterious black beast is leading orc tribes from the north on a rampaging conquest into the valley. An ambitious orc chieftain in the east is uniting the largest army this land has ever seen. And Tildun Logan is caught in the middle... alone and untrained. When his village is destroyed, leaving him with nothing but the clothes on his back, a ceremonial dagger, and the heavy burden of guilt, he embarks on a quest of revenge and redemption. Tildun quickly finds himself caught up in an adventure bigger - and more dangerous - than he ever imagined. Kings, armies, full-scale war - this is about so much more than just his village. There's no turning back, no home to return to. But with no sword and no training, can he ever set things right? Can he escape the weight of his guilt? More importantly, can he even survive?
